In the design office, Hope frowned at a website picture of Steffy and Finn featured in a fundraising gala article. She slammed her laptop shut when Brooke returned. Brooke said they'd been sidetracked before, but she wanted to tell Hope that Ridge had asked if he could announce in Monte Carlo that she was the face of the bedroom line again.

Hope was ecstatic about the news but noticed that Brooke seemed unsure. Shrugging, Brooke said it was lingerie, and she'd be more than just the face. Brooke admitted that she hadn't seen herself as the spokesperson for the relaunch. Hope replied that it had been Brooke's line.

"A long time ago," Brooke noted. Hope imagined the message Brooke would send about timeless beauty and feeling sexy at any age. Brooke was interested, but she wondered if she was the right fit for the demographic and lingerie. "Well, you wear it, don't you?" Hope asked.

Brooke appreciated Hope's support, but Brooke was nervous about wearing lingerie in front of a camera. Hope reasoned that lingerie made Brooke feel sexy and confident, and Brooke could inspire that in other women, too. Hope urged Brooke to agree to do it and squealed in delight when Brooke said she already had agreed.

Brooke and Hope cooed about it, and Brooke asked how she could turn Ridge down. Beyond thrilled, Hope instructed Brooke not to overthink it and to just be herself. Brooke wished she had Hope's confidence about it. Hope asked where Brooke thought Hope had gotten it from.

Hope noted that Brooke became alive in the spotlight and generated buzz and electricity. It was marvelous to watch, and the relaunch would be a huge success. Brooke could think of one person who wouldn't be excited. "Steffy," Hope replied.

In Eric's office, Steffy raged to Ridge about Sheila's release. Ridge said the police hadn't been able to prove anything. Steffy asked who'd done it if not Sheila.

Steffy couldn't talk about it anymore and changed the topic to Brooke, whom Ridge wanted as the spokesperson of the bedroom line. Steffy was upset that Ridge hadn't consulted her about it, but he said she'd known he'd wanted to relaunch the line. Steffy quipped that it was a flashback, not a relaunch, and that wasn't something she wanted to flash back to. Ridge figured it was personal for Steffy; however, maintaining that it wasn't, Steffy asked why it had to be Brooke when other models and celebrities would sign up for it.

Ridge contended that Brooke was more beautiful than ever, and people loved her. Steffy argued that he'd unilaterally brought Brooke into the executive team and was pushing her as the lead model. Steffy said the line was already profitable, and Ridge was making a mistake. He insisted that Brooke would send an empowering message to women all over the world. Steffy replied that it wasn't for women; it was for Brooke. Everything was "Brooke, Brooke, Brooke."

Steffy reasoned that the relaunch was about going forward, but Ridge wanted to go backward. Ridge explained that the bedroom line and Brooke were a part of Forrester's legacy. Steffy noted that he was excited about it. Ridge expressed his excitement to design couture and about the relaunch and message they'd send that women could be who they were right then. Steffy said the message would be lost with Brooke as the spokesperson.

"She'd be a perfect spokesperson for this!" Ridge replied with vigor. Disagreeing, Steffy contended that the spotlight would be on Brooke, not the message. Steffy got it that Brooke was his Logan -- nothing new there. Ridge was sorry that the family breakup was still hurting Steffy.

Steffy took that to mean that Ridge actually was elevating Brooke. Ridge said Brooke had made a lot of contributions to the company, even without him. Steffy quipped that Brooke had torn their family apart. "What do you think? She hit me in the head with a club and started dragging me into a cave?" Ridge asked. "No! I left your mother. I did that!" Ridge yelled, and he told Steffy to be mad at him. He decided it was even better if she wasn't mad at anyone and tried to get beyond the resentment for her own sake.

Hugging Steffy, Ridge said he was proud of Steffy and the work she'd done. He'd never seen anything like Steffy, who grabbed life by the throat each day. She was the most intense woman he'd ever seen, and he knew she could get past it. "Because the whole Forrester versus Logan, that's over. That's done," he declared to a tearful Steffy.

At Bill's house, Katie vowed to get answers about Poppy because Katie didn't think Bill knew what he'd gotten himself into. Poppy replied that her relationship with Bill had nothing to do with Katie. Katie claimed it did because of Will, and she asked why it had taken Poppy over 20 years to let the truth come out. Poppy said Bill understood it.

Katie replied that Poppy had kept it from Luna. Exasperated, Poppy stated that everyone was happy except Katie. Katie persisted, recounting that Poppy had kept it a secret and denied it to Bill, only to suddenly get a paternity test after all that time -- time Bill and Luna could have spent together. Poppy said it had been time she'd needed, but Katie didn't buy it.

Later, the infuriated Poppy was alone, pacing and mimicking Katie, when Luna arrived, noting that her mother seemed upset. Poppy acted like she could handle it, but when Luna persisted, Poppy revealed that she'd had another run-in with Bill's ex. Poppy called Katie an infuriating, judgmental woman who stuck her nose where it didn't belong. Luna asked what Katie had said. Calming down, Poppy said not to worry. She only wanted Luna to enjoy her life with Bill. Poppy vowed to do whatever it took to keep it.

In Li's office, Bill arrived to thank Li for conducting the paternity test and making sure it had been done correctly. Li claimed she'd been glad to help. Bill felt different as a man and a father. He wanted to keep his family close, and that included Li, who was also family.

Li said Bill didn't know what it meant to her to hear that. Li recalled that he'd done a lot for her and had brought a complete stranger into his home. Bill said he hadn't done what others wouldn't, and she was no longer a stranger. Li claimed that she owed Bill a lot. Bill figured she wouldn't mind doing him a favor by trying to get along with Poppy.

Li scoffed, and Bill asked her to try. She said they'd never been able to do it before. "You've never had me before," he replied. She smiled, noting it was his way of bringing people together. Bill told Li that she was one of them, and she could count on him to help with Poppy. He added that there was nothing he wouldn't do for Li, who'd helped give him a daughter. "You're under the Spencer umbrella now," he stated.

Li became emotional. Crying, she said she was happy Luna had the proud Bill for a father. It was what a family should be like. She thought of her own family and all the grueling hours she'd put in. "All the work, all the years. Then my marriage was destroyed by a lie," Li uttered, referencing Sheila and Jack's affair, a secret Jack had kept for decades.

Bill promised not to let Li down the way Jack had. Family was Bill's priority, and he had a daughter, due in large part to Li. Li said it was the least she could do to repay him.

Later, Li was alone when Katie arrived, wanting Li's help after Katie's last encounter with Poppy. Katie brought up the fact that Li and Poppy didn't get along. Li thought it was no secret that she didn't like the way Poppy had lived her life and had always relied on the generosity of wealthy older men. Katie assumed Li was calling her sister a gold-digger. Li said she was trying to put it behind her. Katie wanted to put it behind her, too, but felt that she had to ask if there was any chance that the paternity test Li had performed for Bill and Luna could be wrong.
